II Samuel 21:17
The Scripture
(17) But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel.
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
A three-year famine struck Israel because Saul had slain the Gibeonites, so David allowed seven of Saul's descendants to be hanged to atone for the bloodguilt. The chapter also recounts battles against Philistine giants, including Goliath's brothers, in which David's mighty men fought valiantly.
